A 58-year-old KCK man was killed in a two-car crash on I-29 near KCI just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports that Michael R. Sear of KCK was driving a KIA Soul northbound on I-29 a few miles south of Mexico City, when he was struck from behind by a Subaru Crosstrek, driven by 24-year-old Nicholas Sanders of Platte City.

Troopers say Sanders' vehicle overtook Sear, and hit his vehicle in the rear, causing both cars to go off the roadway and into the median cable barrier.

Sear was transported to North Kansas City Hospital, but was later pronounced dead.

Sanders is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal crash. He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Tuesday. 

His bond is set at $100,000.
